Hi MikeB,

I saw you've made some positive modifications to OpenTX r2940 with the bootloader and countdown and I'm wondering why not commit these changes to the OpenTX github ?

Hi, make PCB=TARANIS TRANSLATIONS=FR HELI=NO. The others are now defined by default in the makefile (see around line 640 for next). I've found that the equivalent options for fr, noheli and notemplates in Companion was make PCB=TARANIS GVARS=YES TRANSLATIONS=FR and my last build with these parameter...

make PCB=TARANIS TRANSLATIONS=FR HELI=NO. The others are now defined by default in the makefile (see around line 640 for next). Ok, thanks. Pourquoi "in companion" ? Just so I can compare the size of the firmware that I compile with the one downloaded, and with the same build options. htt...

Someone ? Hi, I've just set up a Linux compilation environment and I'd like to check the OpenTX binary size. Could someone tell me exactly what options are needed after make to compile a firmware with Menu Language fr + noheli + notemplates in companion ? I suppose: make PCB=TARANIS EXT=FRSKY SDCARD...

I will run a test for this. I have checked the code and timer is big enough uint16 which means 65535 seconds = more than 18 hours. Are you sure you didn't cause a timer stop yourself? I've read your answer and after some thoughts ( :roll: ), I had a doubt. It's a new setup and I'm also using my chr...

Hi, I just came back from my flight session with a Taranis and OpenTX for the first time, I must say I'm really impressed with this combo, thanks for the open source team !! A little problem however, I was flying in crazy thermals and the flight chrono remained blocked on 1:16:40s. I know it's alrea...

Hi,

You can keep running XP, just use a virtual machine, you can even test 64bit systems on XP 32

Hi,

@MartiSvaton

I've done a little project that is doing exactly what mstrens talks about and you can find some infos here :

It's in french so just use an online translator.

Hi, The correct way to set different rates in OpenTX is to do so in the input or sticks tab, where you can also assign them to flight modes. I've not seen your setup but I think you've used mixes in mixes tab so your trim is dependent of the weight set in your different mixes, that's why it is chang...

Yes, you're right but like I wrote in my previous message, my USB-RS232 adapter would not work so I had to find another solution

I have just an adapter - like this one: http://img.alibaba.com/img/pb/058/733/523/523733058_477.jpg Hi, I've just done an X8R and Taranis internal XJT update with the same kind of adapter (CP2102) which I've paired with this converter (MAX232) to invert the signals : http://www.emartee.com/Images/w...

Hi,

@schome1 :
The D4R-II receiver does not support Smart Port sensors, if you want individual cell voltage, it may be possible to use a FLVS-01 in combination with your FVAS-02H or you just do what rdeanchurch suggest with a voltage divider.

Hi, OpenTX documentation is already good but, unfortunately, it seems that the different languages are not totally in sync. Could it be possible to define a "master" language (English seems to be the most evident) from which adds or mods could be done and only then, be translated in whatev...

Hi,

And what about swapping + and - directly on the Taranis gimbals pot, I mean swapping between the pot and the opamp ?

I was using the classic vario with the FrSky hub to a D8R-II and the altitude read on the FLD-02 was freezing after about 5 minutes. The last D8R update solved this problem.

Hi,

What receiver did you use, if it's a D8R it may need an update.

Hi,

There's a lot of different sellers so just put "arduino lcd shield" in the search field.

Hi, I've just tested the arduino "Read any PPM" code with an D8Rv2 (CPPM firmware) and it works really well. You have to upload the sketch (obviously :mrgreen: ), connect the receiver PPM signal to the pin 3 of the Uno (don't forget the ground an the power supply) and open the serial monit...

Is there a build diagram and Arduino board/part number/schematic along with the code? I'm still new at this but like the project. Thank you It is interesting. Is there a detail description for how to make this? I've not tried it myself but the information are in the sketch comments. I'd assume it's...

Hi,

An arduino code for reading PPM signal up to 16 channels : http://code.google.com/p/read-any-ppm/

Ok, Below, the connection diagram: ... Thanks for the wiring. I didn't carry the CTS wire through to the Arduino board where it would have connected to ground. I've done that now and I believe not being grounded the CTS holds off the data now that I've read up on it. Glad to have helped :) Unfortun...

-When you plug in your FTDI, look in the device manager what com port has been assigned. -The board is an Arduino Pro Mini 5v/16MHz with Atmega328. -You don't need to set a programmer. - Load the .ino file and hit upload - You don't need to press the reset button if you connect the FTDI as in the pr...

I think I've found ShowMaster's board :



It's a Pro Mini with an Atmega328 running at 5v,16MHz.
So the diagram I've posted is right.

Ok, Below, the connection diagram: FTDI Basic | Arduino DTR ---------- DTR TXO ---------- RXD RXI ---------- TXD 5V ---------- VCC CTS ---------- GND (pull low) GND ---------- GND Then you select the good board in the Arduino IDE : Tools/Boards/Arduino ProMini and you choose the COM port correspondi...

Hi,

The boot loader should be already installed in your board, you just need to use the upload button in the arduino IDE to flash your program.
I suggest you to read a little more about arduino, there's a bunch of informations around the web, begin with http://arduino.cc/.

Hi,

I don't know your particular board but there is no problem with the labels.
RXD is correctly named and stands for Receive Data, TXD means Transmit Data.

Hi,
I've reported upward that I've been experiencing rebooting with a stock 9X so it's up to you to decide

Hi Cesco1,

I've got the same module and I've range problems.
I'm not as advanced as you are (by far) in electronic and it would be nice if you could develop how you solved this issue.

Thanks.

Hi everybody, I thought it was important to let you know I've experienced the trim rebooting problem with a stock 9X (Atmega 64). It's a Eurgle 9X bought from R2hobbies the 28/05/2012. I've made the following mods: - Programmer cables soldering - LCD backlight (with transistor) - Frsky telemetry I'v...
